    245(i) is back. Immediate action called for
    We have just obtained information that the White House is pushing the House leadership to quietly put an extension of Section 245(i) on the House Suspension calendar, possibly as soon as this week! -- Thanks to all of you who responded to our Action Request last week and called the CJS conferees, an extension of Section 245(i) was dropped from the Commerce, Justice and State Appropriations bill. This was a major victory given the enormous pressure being exerted on the CJS conferees from the White House for an extension. However, as we warned you last week, the battle is not yet won!

    Mexico Ceded Right To Say Who U.S. Can Deport
    The hottest item now available at 46 Mexican consuls in the United States is the "matricula consular", or consular card, an official Mexican ID granted by the Mexican government to Mexicans living in the United States. -- What exactly is a "consular card"? -- Although the card can be accepted in lieu of a Mexican passport when returning to Mexico, it is not a Mexican passport. A Mexican passport is granted in Mexico to Mexicans planning to travel outside of Mexico. [See reader comments on this] [See how you can help]    		 Associated Press
    Hmong citizenship law extension close to final passage
    America' s Laotian Vietnam War allies are on the verge of getting 18 more months to take the U.S. citizenship test in their native language. -- House and Senate negotiators approved the extension, sponsored by Sen.

    U.S. Wants to Talk to 5,000 Foreigners About Attacks
    The U.S. government has compiled a list of more than 5,000 foreign men living in the United States whom it wants to question to try to gain more information about the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, officials said on Monday. -- Justice Department spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said the department is circulating the list, compiled with the help of the State Department and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, to the 94 U.S. attorneys' offices around the country.

    Gun Foes Use Terror Issue in a Push for Stricter Laws
    Gun-control organizations have seized on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to argue that any crackdown on terrorism should include tightening gun laws, particularly the so- called loophole that allows many people to buy weapons at gun shows without background checks. -- Although efforts to close the loophole have failed in Congress, the gun- control groups are hoping to try again by recasting the issue as one of homeland defense. They point to several weapons-related arrests of noncitizens...

    An IDea that puts local cops in a bind
    ...Immigration activists have applauded the new policy. But other people say that by not having their officers detain illegal immigrants, however they find them, the chiefs' association is condoning the breaking of the law. -- And since Laguna Beach Police Chief Jim Spreine is the president of the chiefs' association, he's the guy those angry people have been calling. "I try to assure them that in no way are we supporting illegal immigration," the chief told me. [See reader comments on this] [See how you can help]    		 Detroit Free Press
    INS's Arrest, Release of Illegal Immigrants Called 'Absurd'
    Hundreds of illegal immigrants in Michigan have failed to show up for deportation hearings in the past year.

Carl Levin, D-Mich., whose Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations will conduct a hearing on the matter today. (Note: This aired on CSPAN this morning. The testimony was shocking.)

    Deputy Chief, LAPD (ret.) to O.C. Chief's: With reference to the announcement that each of you intend to enter into an identification document agreement with the Mexican Consulate, in addition to the fact that the LAPD Board of Police Commissioner's already prohibits the detention or arrest of any person for violation of the immigration laws, I wish to bring to your attention that none of you have the authority to enter into such an agreement with a foreign power or the power to promulgate rules or policies that prohibit the enforcement of Immigration laws.

    We have a right to know who is entering country
    Most intelligent people see columnist Raoul Contreras as a propaganda mechanism for the overtly corrupt Mexican government that is trying desperately to bully our country into legalizing over 6 million of its citizens (with who knows how many felons and terrorists) who have entered and are living in our country illegally.

    		Re: Lawless Orange County Cops and Illegals
    How can an officer of the law, sworn to uphold the laws of the land, in good conscience accept Mexican ID cards for illegal immigrants? One of the laws of this land is that people who enter the country illegally are subject to deportation, and any police officer who fails to report known or suspected illegals to the proper authority is, at minimum, guilty of working to undermine that law.

    I'm making the rounds calling the Sen. and Rep. regarding 245(i). A couple of times now I'm being asked who is telling us to make these calls. I've explained that immigration reform groups are interested in 245(i).

    Anyway, when I talked to an office worker in Jack Reed's office, I explained that people in California are ravaged by illegal aliens. The office worker replied, "Yeah, and some of my family members are married to them", and she hung up the phone on me. I'm wondering if I should complain to the office as to her unproffesionalism.

    Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is one of the few politicians in Washington, D.C., with the courage to speak out openly about America's dangerously flawed immigration policies and practices. The weekly publication Human Events selected a terse statement by Tancredo as its "Quote of the Week": "The U.S. can bomb Afghanistan to dust but terrorism will remain. In some bizarre thought process understood only in Washington, D.C., the possibility of tightening up immigration laws..." [Also see the Free Republic]    		 Denver Post
    Veterans protest student mural's pairing of U.S., Mexican flags
    Maria Chavez painted a mural on her high school wall last spring that was intended to promote unity - within families, at school, in communities and between nations. But that mural has recently sparked some disunity. -- Chavez's mural depicting the Delta High School panther mascot between two flags - the Stars and Stripes and the banner of Mexico - has raised a protest from some veterans because the two flags are given equal representation.
